200$ or so. I'm not picky. Anything to make it a little bit more
affordable would be great.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as
possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.)
Reconnecting with various folks within the KDE SIG, I will be using it as
an opportunity to dive back in to the Fedora community and work with the
rest of the SIG to figure out how to make Fedora the top-tier KDE distro
again.
I'm also interested in working on an Open Hardware SIG, focusing on, for
starters Arduino, and moving in to other OSH
* If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such

I'm not at all sure on this. I will most likely not have work or school or
anything in that time period, so I am open to whatever flights are the
cheapest.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Nope.

APAC Fudcon Bids
by Robyn Bergeron
Hi folks,
I just wanted to raise a flag here.
In the FAmSCo meeting earlier this week it looks like there are a few
action items for people to forward information or share information
about the APAC bid recommendation. I have not yet seen any of that
information come forward.
The ticket is here:
https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/ticket/258
The known bids are here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Philippines_2012
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:APAC_2012_Bid_Malaysia
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Beijing_2012
The period tentatively scheduled for the APAC FUDcon is March 1 - May
31. I have *incredibly huge* concerns at this point about the ability
to successfully pull together planning details for a FUDCon in such a
short time frame, particularly with details like international travel,
visas and passports, etc., not to mention simply being able to arrange
hosting space, hotel blocks, etc. There are also the additional
efforts of going through the FUDCon subsidy process, purchasing airfare
(which tends to be cheaper the further in advance it is purchased), etc.
I think we all realize that FUDCons require a large amount of effort;
additionally, they get a large amount of funding, and I know that we
would all like to ensure that that money is well-used. If we can't come
to a decision on the location within the next week, we may need to take
under consideration the option of deferring the APAC FUDCon until
Mar-May of 2013. I don't think this would be a huge loss, considering
that we just had a FUDCon in Pune a few months ago. And while I don't
want to disappoint the people who have been working on bids, I don't
want us to wind up in a position where we are disappointing a large
number of people who are investing their time in attending a FUDCon by
putting on an event that we simply didn't have enough time to organize
well, or disappoint the Fedora community by not wisely spending money.
So, please: If there is information, or a recommendation, that needs to
be passed to FAmSCo, please pass it along including any supporting logs,
etc. *as soon as possible*, so that people can familiarize themselves
with the details and be prepared to make a recommendation or decision.
I'll be attending the FAmSCo meeting to get as much information as I can
as well to make the final call.

EMEA FUDCon 2012, French bid
by Kévin Raymond
Hi there,
On behalf of the French community, I am very pleased to announce you
that we are candidate for the 2012 EMEA FUDCon, the town chosen is… Paris!
Our bid wiki page[1] is still in process, but at least we are on time,
we want to avoid the beginning of January rush.
All is not clear yet, because we want to make it happen with the
Open World Forum ("Think. Code. Experiment."). Date and venue are set, but could change a bit.
We need them to define that, but of course we have a rescue plan and we
would be ready by the 11th of January.
Even by reading the bid process wiki page[2], I still don't know the
number of room to ask in the accommodation quotes. Could you please share
your mind?
